So like, what's the thing to look for, what denotes a newer processor. I just don't speak the computer language well enough to know what to look for.

I basically just thought, "Hey my work laptop works great and is really fast," then looked at the specs for that which is 2.80 ghz, 8 gb ram. It has a solid-state hard drive though.

It would be nice to be able to stream HD video now and again.

Yeah, what @Tryamw said.
As well, SSD is huge for programs to load and stuff, but it will shoot up the price by a lot, I think in your case HDD would be fine, if you don't want to spend a lot of money.

I talked to a person today who actually thinks that climate change is a hoax and that if we just let all the factories pump all the stuff into the air, then it would help the trees grow better and faster and help the planet because trees eat CO2, see.

**** it, let the monkeys take over, they couldn't do any worse at this point

Gotta note on this one... the other day, on the radio there was a program where a female reporter was interviewing a female prehistory biology expert, and she was telling about the Permian-Triassic extinction event 252 M years ago, and when the high level of carbon dioxide in the air then got mentioned, you just could see it coming, and sure enough they had to go and in an ever so short OT Check the Correct Opinion about matters relating to today.

Just one second before they literally were talking about a destructive carbon dioxide thingy predating the modern man a frigging 250 Million years, the likes of which the denialists like to use as their go-to example for arguing a possible non-human cause.

Not saying that the Correct opinion would be wrong opinion, but dear lord if it wasn't a scary example of the indoctrination prevalent in our times.

I followed this advice as well as that of @Tryamw and ordered one that had a 4th (or maybe 5th?) gen Intel I5, 8 gb ram, two hard drives totalling 750 gb and new Windows 10 install for $150, which seems like kind of a steal. I'll probably end up getting a SSD down the road just to run the OS. I keep all my music/movies on a couple of external drives already, so the 750 gb of hard drives is super-duper overkill but I guess it won't hurt to have the extra space.

Combined with the memetic surroundings, I can't help but think that on one wall of that study we can't see in the pic, there's a door to a playroom where our cultured protagonist goes full fifty shades on some poor silly gal's ass.

That sounds like a great deal you got there, especially for what you will use it!

Is a pure SSD a winner choice for OS though? You'll be using some hexpensive storage space for keeping the zillion printer and other OS crap drivers you'll never ever use.

I don't know, I have all you fine folks to tell me these things now. I was under the impression the whole works would run faster if Windows was installed on an SSD as compared to an HDD but maybe that's not the case. Like I said, I'm a moron when it comes to this stuff.

You had the right impression. I think @Lempo suggested that it's not worth it if you don't run anything on your machine, it's just way too pricey.

My man cave and my home office are the same room, divided by a half-wall. I'm getting a sign for the door that says "business in the front, party in the back.' It's gonna be dope as hell. I'm probably just going to basically start living down there, honestly. There's no toilet but there is an open shower, and well.....pipes is pipes
